Morning Coco, did I hear mention of the kettle being on. Would love to join you. Those dark clouds are still passing over at the mo, lets hope they keep doing that. I love the pic you put on FB of Buster, he is so adorable. I think I will have some toast as well please. I have now gone onto drinking green tea so if I can have one of those.

No, still waiting to hear something. Talk about the wheels grnd slowly. Trouble is Hayley's councillor keeps getting the school authorities trying to get Hayley back into her old school. So....they had better hurry up and decide so we can work out what to do next. It's all good fun isn't it(Idont think) I have had enough now. We are all walking on egg-shells here with Hayley.

The weather has really turned out nice down here. Lovely drying weather. The girls are up in their room re-arranging again. I shall just let them get on with it. Hope you all have the same weather and are enjoying it.

I have just popped in for a quick cuppa, done quiet a lot of housework today and feeling it now. So rest and a cuppa.

Evening allKaren I do hope something gets sorted very soon for Hayley, it must be so worrying...and I hope you are resting after all the house work.....I did polish... and that was it...Coco I hope buster is settling in and sleeps through...Aww when you think they are just like babies...Chris I think you come home tomorrow so have a safe journey...and then it will have to be rest...Elizabeth I have had enough of football now...hope the homework is all done withChristine..have a goodish day tomorrowIt has been a lovely day here...it settled down after the black clouds....this morning..right off to have our Sunday dinner....a chicken sandwich.... see you all later xxxx

Karen...Sunday dinner is becoming something of a rarity....Hubbys good at egg and chips though ...must say his chips are good Right I will log off for tonightI do hope you all sleep wellish...I will get the rubber mallet ready..See you in the morning night xxxxxx

Unfortunately I have not managed any sleep. I am feeling it now though. I think probably worry and pain. We never learn do we.

Well, I hope that you have a good day in what ever you are going to do. I am pretty sure as Barbara said yesterday that Chris is coming home today. So maybe we will hear from her tonight. It's a long journey and I do so admire her for doing it on her own.

morning allI have been for my results....left kidney only 75 percent... I nearly fell of the chair....so he said I will have to come off the antiinflams.....now I never say much to my doc...but I just saw red...I said I cant cope with the pain has it is...so if you take those you will have to replace them with something....so he just glared at me to say dont tell me my job...so I have to give the blood pressure tabs time to work...then he will review me to see how the kidney is going on...On a happy note the sun is shinning and it is so lovely and warm....I will now have some breakfast I got there for 9 and came out an hour later...Karen you try and have a nap...its awful when you cant sleep....I do hope they sought things out for Hayley then you can stopped worrying over thatCoco put some more pics on when you have time....do you know we had a rebel when I was a kid.. I hope that Chris has a safe journey home...bet you are shattered.....will see you all later xxxxx

No sleep Karen you must feel awful. I got about 5 hours and just about starting to feel it.

Hi Coco sounds lovely at your place. Has the tarantula gone back yet? I was admiring that cricket/ locust creature then realised he was lunch!

That is bad news Tink. So do you have any pain killers at all? Oh dear this is going to make a difference.

Hopefully Chris will pop in soon as she's had a busy time lately and prob hasn't had time or energy to pop in yet. Is it nearly torch in York yet-it must be close as it was in Newcastle t'other day. My daughter sent me a pic of the olympic rings in Newcastle. Presumably she watched the torch relay but sport isn't her thing.

Finally hoping Chris is coping with work.

Still doing well so have spoons to spare, only a bit tired so going to have a lie down for an couple of hours ready for the childrens return. Oh yes respite went well and he come home with a bag of wet washing(he was in his spares).

Barbara, I am sorry, talk about it never rains but it pours. You must be feeling so frustrated. You cant go without any medication. You need to have something. Regarding the lung, what is the next step for you, do you know. On saying that I shall be thinking of you. You most definately need some spoons.

Nice to see you E, and it is good that you are having some good days, lets hope there will be plenty more. Glsd to hear that you're son had a good time Sunday. So will that be a regular thing every Sunday or it was a one off.

got back about 4 but have been waiting for the lappie to do a scan before I could log in.. Mad busy weekend with lots crammed in so am shattered but it was all good fun. My sis knows I like Dave Gorman and got surprise tickets for us to go last night. He was brill, but it was a bit of late night.

The 80th birthday was fine though missed Uncle Nimble as he pulled a Prince Philip and was poorly. Didn't know I had so many relatives I had not met before what with my cousins children all now married and 4 of her great grandchildren to meet.

Sorry will read back and catch up later but hope you are all coping?? ((( ))) just in case. At least no work tomorrow as am on leave ready for the torch. Passes within yards of my house about 2.00.

Evening allOur Chris is home....you get some well earned rest...come on I will make you a cuppaKaren..I am now over the shock...75% is not bad according to the internet, has long as they keep it monitored...it the pain meds that are worrying me....I need something....trouble is it wasn't my GP he is on hols again.I hope you hear something about Hayley..if they go on like this she will be finishing school anywayCoco is that little doggy running rings round you..if I lived nearer I could babysit him.. Elizabeth Im so glad you are feeling well ...keep it upChristine not sure how you are doing...fingers crossed I have just made a jelly in a proper jelly mould...and I am very proud of it...doesn't take much

Coco. watch it, he'll be taking over everything. I mean he's trying to take over your typing, what next. Bless him.

Barbara, glad you had a good night sleep. It does make such a difference doesn't it. Where did you read or hear about this, I mean, It doesn't surprise me, but what are they intending to do...leave everyone who needs it in terrible pain. I just don't know what this country is coming to.

Chris, glad to know that you arrived home safe and sound. And have a really good duvet day, you need to recover now. Glad you had a good time though.

Anyway....have a good day in whatever you are doing and dont overdo things either.

Karen it was on the news this morning, they are saying it has to stop...well the government is...it is down to them that we have these cuts in the NHS....The sun is still shinning...YEAH...not that Im doing much but its nice to look out the window and see it....See you all later xxxx
